“I mean to say,” continued Dupin,

to the circumstances by which he was
surrounded. I knew him as a courtier,
too, and as a'bold intriguant. Hitch a

the view of every visitor, and thus ex
actly in accordance with the conclusions,
to which I had previously arrived; these
things, I say, were strongly corrobor
ative of suspicion, in one who came with
tho intention to suspect.
“I protected my visit as long as possi

imated discussion with the Minister,
upon a topic which I knew well had
never failed to interest and excite him,
I kept my attention really riveted upon
the letter. In this examination, I com

good morning, and took my departure
at once, leaving a gold snuff-box upon

The next morning I called for the

eagerly, the conversation of the preced

a loud report, as If of a pistol, was heard
immediately beneath the windows of
the hotel, and was succeeded by a series
of fearful screams, and the shoutings of
U terrified mob. D—- rushed to a ease
ment, threw it open, and '.coked out.
1c the meantime, I stepped to the card-
rack, took the letter, put it in my
pocket, and replaced it by a fac-simllc.

wild attempt you suggest, I might
never have left the ministerial presence

have heard of mo no more. Hut I had
an object apart from these considera
tions. You know my political pro
possessions. In this matter, I act as a
partisan of the lady concerned. For
eighteen months tho minister has had
her in his power, She has now him in
hers—since, being unaware that the
letter is not in his possession, he will
proceed with his exactions as if it was,
Thus will he inevitably commit himself,

Farewell to the Old Road—6oirip
! West Where a Man Can Me r aW
; Xcvcr Notice It.
.[From I’eiiiwylvttuia Grit.)
; 0n the road’' from Hardscrabble
to the post -oflice there is a very |teep
hill; to (jofTown Jiefjire reaching^the.
bottom-lauds of the old Susquehan-
h'river.
I wish I had a dollar for every
tifrue I crawled up that old hill. For
j|ars 1 have made that daily!, trip tt>
llje post office, for my business was
1 done through the post office’ de
partment. Every good thing comes
through the little country post office
at Chatham’s Hun, and many, many
of the great disappointments I have
uttered during these years came
through the same channel. ^ .
Yes, everything Idiavc hoped for
came through this fettle^xtot office,
and every hope that died came back
to me through the little window at
the post office, and I have carried
thousands of these dead hopes in my
weary heart and so sadly, sadly walk
ed up this old dug hill road with de
spair in my soul and a bitter feeling
against the whole world,
Ah, good lands of lead feathers on
a pewter duck, if all the heavy hearts
I have carried up this old hill could
be weighed in a largo balance, it
would-take a big chunk of Bald
Eagle mountain to make the heavy
hearts swing clear of ihe ground.
But oue time I went up this old
dug hill road and knew it would
likely be the lust time I would ever
travel over that old familiar road,
knew I was going far.- away, with no
intontion-or hope of ever coming
buck.
I stood on top of the hill and look
ed down into the valley, and I wou
.’pebe^ratod,; ^tjt,

And I turn my back to the valley

Ah, what makes this old heart so
heavy at the thought of going away?
Will there come a time in the future
whfert I ’shall'wake' tip at Jftnfhight In
a strange land au^^feel; my> heart
hungering for these old hills and
these old frieuds-whotfCl-have feiiown
since childhood? .
I duuno, I dunno; men go ,o‘ff m
search of- peace uhd coliteritmieht and
die of a broken heart before they find
it—die sometimes with a broken head
while searching for.it.
Dear old Hardscrabble! I used
to think .that nothing could persuade
me 4q leave the dear dreary old place.
No "other place'seems to lit me so
comfortable as Hardsrabble, for we
are both poor and unassuming and
tjentent to live withdbt society and
eat With a knife at Cable and patch
Our own trousers.
Often and often I would ask my
self why I was going away, and the
only answer I could give was: A man
is never appreciated in hisown coun
try. A man always over-estimates
bis usefulness, while his neighbors
always under-estimate his usefulness.
People grow up with a man and
never notice that heps growing wise,
Just the same as the man who feeds
the pig every day does not know that
the pig is growing fat.
I have no influence in Hardscrab
ble. I left the Republican party
years ago, because they contracted
the currency and made times so hard
that 1 couldn’t afford store tobacco,
but not a voter went with me. Last

would see me no more.
And I wondered, too, how much X
would miss all the good friends 1
was leaving behind, and whether X
would ever long to sec those green
bills and blue, mountains which have
been my companions through-all my
past life.
The evening I stood ou top of the
oid dtfg’hUl, there was a haa'd organ
grinder down in the vufley grinding
"Bock of A_ges,” and ever and anon
the sweet strains of that old familiar
air came to me on the southern
breeze, and my heart became home
sick at the very thought of going
away from my native village to try
my fortune in the midst of the bald-
headed Rocky mountains.
Could yon blame me for‘feeling
bedoOkleci" with home-brewed brine
iu my tear shed, while 1 stood there
taking a last look down the old road
where L had. meandered, so often,
sometimes happy and hopeful, and
often us sud us the pan of dough on
which the cut laid.
Perhaps it was the sad cadence of
that old tune coming up on the eve
ning wind that made me feel so be-
dooiiled, for the music stopped -sort
of suddenly, and 1 grew more cheer
ful at once.
X never heard whether the organ
grinder buished grinding the rock to
powder, or whether Jim Yarrick gut
ii, chunk of it out of the hopper and
bit the Italian a biff with it on the
head, but 1 rather think there was
no nickel forthcoming and he stop
ped grinding rocks because it didn’t
pay.,
After the music stopped I got into
a sort of dreamy predictive frame of
mind, and I amagined Col. Eckert
and his dog Dan going along this
same road' two years hence and never
thinking of me. Ah,^e8,.Iww'soon
we forget each other in this. busy
life. Dan will be running at the
colonel’s side trying to nose up a rab

I had a friend who went' West'be

me and tell me how cold it got out
there, and that the thermometer went
down to thirty-six helow: zero, but
the air was so light and rare and
blear and pure that you would never
notice the cold!
It was just the opposite in the
summer time, and the thermometer
would go up to 1U S in the shade,
but tho air was so pure and clear and
rare and light that yon would never
notice it.
In less than ayear this friend wrote
to me that he had lost all his moaey,
out wound up with the old Western
stereotyped expression of praise;
"The air is so pure uud clear and
rare and light that X never noticed my
loss yet.”
Well, he borrowed a little money
and two flannel shirts aud a heavy
pair of suspenders from me, and in a
few weeks be wrote to me that he had
lost all again, but the air was so rare
